Concerns of “universal income” grow as President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion relief package gets rid of work requirements for the Child Tax Credit. Experts raise concerns that this could actually hurt, not help, society.

Noting that FNC had invited a politically-diverse audience to...

Mortgage Salesmen Whose Tricks Fund Lavish Lifestyle THOUSANDS of hard-up families are being ripped off by ruthless mortgage brokers who've been dubbed the Ferrari Kings because of their lavish lifestyle.
